Gordon Wins At Texas
Jeff Gordon snaps 47-race winless drought with victory at Texas, beating Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson. Gordon, already the Sprint Cup points leader with four top-five finishes in the first six races, did a few burnouts on the frontstretch before grabbing the checkered flag and taking his No. 24 Chevrolet for a victory lap, his first since October 2007 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway in Charlotte.
“How ironic is this that when we go into this streak and we end it here in Texas, a place that’s just eluded us for so long,” Gordon said. “Incredible team effort. This whole year has been amazing. What a great car. I’ve never had a car like this at Texas. We finally had one and put it in position.”
Great job by the 24 team!
